It was maybe a faith that we showed up on the last two days of open home to make a personal connection with her. Starting off with her warm smile down to very informative tips, she made us feel we belong to the home we have purchased. We felt as if she never wore the hat of being our agent as she was very hands-on (despite not feeling well on the settlement day) and we are still in touch with her post settlement. It was indeed the ideal home and she will always be puzzle piece our our new place. Kudos to your professionalism and for sharing a personal touch on it!

We had a phenomenal outcome in working with Sara and James, who enthusiastically jumped in from the start to create a team between us to support the months-long preparation, marketing and sale of our family home of 27 years. Sara clearly explained the steps throughout all levels of the process, from the first walk through of our home to the celebratory photos and flowers at the fall of the auctioneer's gavel. Sara's knowledge of the market and the personalised assistance they both provided was legendary. We also had fun marking the small and big wins as we progressed towards the finish line. They helped with leaf blowing in the middle of the autumn leaf-fall season, aided the photographer in taking great photos during cyclone weather, and shuttled our dog as needed - who bonded with them both. They went through all the paperwork with us, helped us set dates and worked to solve minor issues arising with positivity and good spirit, along with the loan of some Allen wrenches and tea lights! As we honed in on who the buyers might be and discussed how to determine a reserve to set, we felt fully supported and informed, so that auction day was as stress-free as it possibly could be. We are so glad we chose to work with Sara and James to successfully accomplish such a huge task after all these years in our home. It was clearly evident that we could trust them with the sale of our home, and they did the job with great professionalism and genuine care. Thank you so much for everything!

Rachel fully engaged with us from the first meeting, genuinely interested in us, our much-loved home and the neighbourhood. Her advice was always spot-on, given with consideration and evidenced knowledge of the area and the current market. With Rachel we were able to have time to make decisions and never felt pushed. Her experience showed in pre-empting problems that could have arisen and providing well explained solutions. When it came down to choosing tradies for work to be done in a hurry or recommendations for stagers and movers, she had answers right at hand. The result: we sold on auction day for a price just above the top of her initial value range and have continued to receive professional but friendly post-sale communication right through settlement and settling into our new home. We recommend Rachel as an agent who would be acting in your best interests, shoulder to shoulder through the whole process.

For a number of years we have engaged Sara Knight to act on our behalf as we have bought and sold residential investment properties. On each occasion Sara has acted with honesty, integrity and complete professionalism. As we recently wished to sell our own residence, we had no hesitation in engaging Sara as our Agent. Sara's knowledge of the market, her ability to advise us on all aspects of the marketing process, her outstanding work ethic and her negotiation skills resulted in us achieving a remarkable outcome. Sara kept us informed throughout the entire marketing campaign and we attribute the extremely successful sale of our home entirely to her experience, hard work and commitment to achieving the best possible result. We believe Sara is a Real Estate Agent of the highest calibre and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to others seeking to engage the services of such an Agent. Ian & Diana Hay

We were fortunate when we walked in off the street to be allocated Lisa Courtney and Jacqui Ding. Jacqui and Lisa worked hard on our behalf. We found them polite, courteous and knowledgeable in all aspects of their work. They and their associates manged to get 9 bidders for our property. Hence it went for more than they or us anticipated. Thank you Jacqui and Lisa.

We have just sold our house on Grey Street through Ketiesha Excell Elliott at Barfoot & Thompson, and as expected, her service and support were of the highest standard over the 3-week campaign. We have been working with Ketiesha since 2010, and over that time, she has expertly handled five property transactions for us, totaling around $9.1 million. It is a true reflection of Ketiesha’s values, professional approach, and her naturally endearing demeanor that has made us keep coming back. The team at Barfoot & Thompson have also been great, and we have truly enjoyed their support over the last 16 years. As we move to Christchurch, we will deeply treasure the relationship we have built with Ketiesha and her team. Thank you for everything!

Selling a home can feel overwhelming, but Leonie made our entire journey smooth and transparent. Before our campaign even began, we reached out to Leonie for guidance on how to get the house ready — from choosing neutral, appealing colours for both the exterior and interior to making the right furnishing and presentation choices. Leonie's advice was always unbiased and focused on what would genuinely help the sale. It took us a couple of months to prepare the house, but with Leonie’s guidance we got there. Throughout the campaign, Leonie walked us through the complete end‑to‑end process, including weekly reports on website traffic across all the property platforms, so we always knew exactly what was happening. What impressed us most was that we weren’t just working with Leonie — we had the support of her entire team, who were all professional and whose expertise really shone through. Our auction result was a success, and we’re incredibly grateful for Leonie’s guidance and dedication throughout the process. We wholeheartedly recommend getting in touch with Leonie if you’re thinking about selling your home.

Hi, As “Mum & Popp” builders & property investors, we had built and then rented our Mt Eden / Mt Albert townhouse out for 32 years. On the decision to move our collateral to Nelson we chose Barfoot and Thompson to represent the sale as they definitely have the broadest “feet on the ground” in the region. Luckily their very “special agent” Leonie Stabler was behind her desk that day - This wasn't our first real estate rodeo, but we knew we'd struck gold on meeting Leonie.. She's Intelligent,” full career” experienced in the region, personable, compliancy wise, communicative, discerning and she listens! Leonie never brought anything but complete professionalism to the table in the 2 looong years we waited for the market to meet our expectations.. Leonie is the perfect intermediary between buyer and seller - where legend has it “ if the buyer and the seller are unhappy - it's a perfect deal” Unusually blessed with “ Common Sense" , her honesty and tenacity are, in our books, legendary. We give Leonie and her team our fullest and unreserved recommendation. Fiona Newey & Taakarei Ruha Golden Bay NZ

Rachel is a great agent to use when going through the sales process. She was always available to us, communication was excellent and we found her very knowledgeable. Nothing was ever a problem for her. The market was tough. She was happy to advise but final decisions were always ours.
